About Wellington

With a nickname such as "Windy Wellington" you could be forgiven for thinking Wellington is not a place to visit, however this is far from the truth about this vibrant, bustling compact city. Wellington is New Zealand's capital city and sits on the North Island's most southern point on the Cook Strait, hence the nickname! Wellington features a waterfront promenade, sandy beaches, a working harbour and colourful timber houses on surrounding hills. The harbour sits on a hook-shaped mass with great ferry links to Picton on the South Island. Iconic Wellington sites include the red Wellington Cable Car, Wellington Museum, Zealandia Wildlife reserve, Wellington Botanic Gardens and Mt Victoria Lookout.

An enjoyable crossing

In most respects this was a very pleasant and hassle-free experience.The ticket pick-up and luggage check-in were efficiently handled and the journey itself was a delight. There was plenty of comfortable seating and many opportunities to enjoy the magnificent scenery.
Our only criticism would be regarding the onboard shop,in which we experienced slow service when wishing to buy a newspaper for the journey.

Ferry experience

Ferry was 2 hours late arriving at Wellington.
Consequently when we arrived there were no taxis and we had a loooong wait (over an hour in a drizzling rain) before any came. Otherwise the trip was OK

Great service shame about the weather

I had a very pleasant trip. Check-in was quick and simple. As a foot passenger I also needed to check-in my luggage. The ferry itself was spacious and comfortable and would have offered great views of the coastline had the weather been good.
